How to Install IceHrm on Kali Linux

IceHrm is a web-based human resource management system that allows businesses to manage employee information, leave, attendance, and payroll. In this tutorial, we will be installing IceHrm on Kali Linux, the latest version.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, make sure you have the following:

• A computer running Kali Linux
• A web browser installed
• Root access to the system

Step 1: Install Apache and MySQL

To install IceHrm, we need to have Apache and MySQL installed on our system. To install them, run the following commands in the terminal:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install apache2 mysql-server

Follow the prompts to complete the installation process.

Step 2: Install PHP

Next, we need to install PHP and its modules. Run the following command in the terminal:

sudo apt-get install php libapache2-mod-php php-mysql

Step 3: Download and Install IceHrm

Download the latest version of IceHrm from https://icehrm.com/. Once downloaded, extract the contents of the zip file to the /var/www/html/ directory.

sudo unzip icehrm.zip -d /var/www/html/

Change the owner of the IceHrm directory to the Apache web server.

sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/icehrm/

Step 4: Configure MySQL for IceHrm

Next, we need to create a MySQL database and user for IceHrm. Run the following commands in the terminal:

sudo mysql -u root
CREATE DATABASE icehrm;
CREATE USER 'icehrmuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON icehrm.* TO 'icehrmuser'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
exit;

Replace "password" with a secure password.

Step 5: Finish IceHrm Installation

In your web browser, navigate to http://localhost/icehrm. Follow the prompts to complete the installation process. Make sure to enter the MySQL database details you created in Step 4.

Once the installation process is complete, you should be able to access the IceHrm dashboard by navigating to http://localhost/icehrm.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed IceHrm on Kali Linux.
